Spotify, SoundCloud and other platforms have pulled the song, but its spread underscores the challenges tech platforms face in removing content that violate their policies.

Spotify, SoundCloud and other tech platforms have worked to remove a new song from Ye that praises Adolf Hitler, but the song and its video have continued to proliferate online including across X, where it has racked up millions of views.

On various mainstream and alternative tech platforms this week, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been able to share his latest song, titled “Heil Hitler,” along with its companion title, “WW3,” which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust.

While some platforms have taken steps to attempt to pull down the song, others have seemingly let it spread freely.

    As a father with two autistic sons every time I see this irritates the shit out of me just like when the autism claims come out on Elon too. Autism doesn’t entitle you to be an insufferable asshole regardless of what you may think. It’s insulting to autistic people everywhere.

    My boys are autistic and they know Nazis are evil and Hitler was wrong. They’re not racist or sexist or incels or Nazis or bigots or whatever else you throw that is negative because being autistic does not prevent you from being a good person.

    Fuck them and everyone who uses autism as a crutch. Seriously.
